Chapter 703: One-day Tour of Chenyu Valley
The next day, early in the morning, the sunlight shone through the window of the Qun Yu Pavilion and onto the bed.
Shao Yun was awakened by the sunlight. He opened his eyes dazedly and muttered, "Ah, what time is it..."
Shao Yun's getting-up time has never been fixed, but one thing is certain, that is, once he wakes up, he will never stay in bed.
He quickly put on his clothes, then walked out of the room and prepared to look for Ying.
At this time, in the room where Ying, Shenhe and Paimon lived, the three girls were sitting around the dining table, happily enjoying breakfast.
Shao Yun smelled the tempting aroma of food just outside the door.
He opened the door and saw three people eating breakfast.
Ying noticed Shao Yun's arrival. She smiled and pointed to the empty chair beside her, and greeted him warmly: "Shao Yun, you are finally awake. Come on, let's have breakfast together!"
Shao Yun walked over with a smile and sat down on the chair.
He looked at the sumptuous food on the table and couldn't help but sigh: "The food in Qun Yu Pavilion is really good."
Although he could eat alone in his room, he preferred the feeling of eating with his family.
At this moment, Ying's eyes fell on Shen He who was concentrating on eating noodles, and she helplessly reminded him: "Shen He, don't always eat noodles, there are so many dishes!"
Shao Yun sat next to Ying and looked around. He felt a little strange. Why wasn't Ningguang here? Logically speaking, shouldn't she be there to accompany him?
"Just us?"
Ying picked up the bowl, took a sip of the light porridge, then nodded and responded: "Yes, any problem?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun shrugged casually and said nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just feel a little strange, why is Ningguang not here?"
At this moment, Paimon, who had been eating hard, suddenly raised her head. It is worth mentioning that her mouth was still full of food.
When she heard Shao Yun mention Ningguang, she swallowed the food in her mouth with force, and then hurriedly explained: "Oh, you mean Ningguang, she seems to be sick."
"When I saw her this morning, she looked very sick. Bai Shi has gone to find Bai Zhu to check on her."
……
At the same time, in Ningguang's office, Ningguang was sitting quietly in a guest seat beside her, her face slightly pale. She stretched out her right hand, placed it on the table, and signaled Baishu to feel her pulse.
When Ningguang woke up this morning, I wondered if it was because of the liquor she drank last night? Or was it because she stayed up too late last night and sneaked into Shao Yun's room, doing something disrespectful and getting her retribution?
Anyway, this morning, when Ningguang opened her eyes, she found that the pillow and bed sheet under her had been completely soaked with sweat and were wet.
The originally translucent nightgown was now tightly attached to her skin, bringing an uncomfortable sticky feeling.
Then, an inexplicable fear swept through Ningguang's body, and she shivered involuntarily.
Afterwards, Ningguang felt that her throat was as dry as the desert of Sumeru.
She quickly got up, picked up the cup of water on the table, and drank several big gulps of water, which slightly relieved the dryness in her throat.
After taking a shower, Ningguang stood up from the bathtub and wiped the sticky sweat that was still on her body with a towel.
It's like she has a feeling that no matter how hard you wash, it can never be clean.
When she walked out of the bathroom, a feeling of palpitations became more severe, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
After arriving at her desk, Ningguang's face turned pale.
When Bai Shi saw her like this, he thought she looked like a patient who was terminally ill and would not live long.
She was so scared that she hurried to Bubulu to invite Doctor Bai.
……
At this moment, Ningguang was sitting on a chair, staring at Bai Zhu who was taking her pulse.
Bai Zhu frowned tightly, as if he had discovered something abnormal in Ning Guang's pulse, but it didn't seem like...
Ningguang looked at Bai Zhu nervously, her lips trembling as she asked, "Doctor Bai, I...what happened to me? Am I okay?"
Bai Zhu withdrew his hand from checking Ningguang's pulse, relaxed his brows, and replied with a smile: "Lord Ningguang, your symptoms are only due to lack of sleep recently. You will be fine after some more rest."
"Although you are busy with official duties, you should also pay more attention to rest."
Ningguang felt relieved when she heard that it was because of staying up late. She let out a long sigh and said, "Really? Thank you, Doctor Bai. Do you need any medicine?"
Bai Zhu shook his head and advised: "Pharmacological treatment is only a temporary solution, so I recommend you to get more rest."
Ningguang saw that she didn't have any serious problems, so she called her secretary "Bai Shi" and said, "Thank you... Bai Shi, give me the consultation fee for Doctor Bai Zhu."
……
After Bai Zhu received the medical fee and left Qun Yu Pavilion, the "Changsheng" hanging around his neck couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, Bai Shu, are you really not able to see or are you pretending not to? Ningguang is not tired, she is contaminated by dirt."
Bai Zhu nodded. He also noticed this, but he chose to lie in order to avoid unnecessary panic.
"Of course I know. However, from what I have observed, the smell of the so-called 'dirty thing' is very weak and will dissipate quickly. It is better to avoid causing panic."
"Besides, it seems that it is not our job to deal with that kind of 'dirty stuff'. It should be the responsibility of the Wangsheng Hall."
……
After finishing breakfast, Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Shen He came to the outside of the Qun Yu Pavilion and felt the fresh morning air.
Paimon looked up at the blue sky, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and then asked, "So, what are we going to do today?"
Ying put her hands on her hips, thought for a moment and suggested, "Well...why don't we go to Chenyu Valley and take a look?"
……
At the same time, on Tianheng Mountain, Xianyun built a simple small camp yesterday.
At this moment, she picked up a cup of steaming hot tea that she had just brewed and savored it leisurely.
Xianyun stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire Liyue Harbor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Liyue Harbor, ruled by humans, does have a different kind of vitality."
Afterwards, Xianyun savoured the fragrance of tea while muttering to himself: "However, this Ningguang, I really love and hate her. If she could restrain her edge a little, I wouldn't be like this..."
Just as Xianyun was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly, Shen He, holding Ying, landed in front of her as lightly as a flying bird.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun also spread out his rarely used wind wings and slowly landed on the ground.
Xianyun looked at Shao Yun and his group who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Shen He slowly put down Ying from his arms, and then replied softly: "Master, Ying plans to go to Chenyu Valley for a stroll."
When Xianyun heard this, he knew it meant a mission was coming.
She quickly poured the tea in her cup onto the ground. Then, she put away the cup and said, "No problem. I'll take you there right away."
……
After a moment, Xianyun waved his hand gently, and a soft breeze came, gently lifting up Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Shen He, allowing the four of them to fly steadily in the air.
Everyone soon arrived above Chenyu Valley.
Paimeng looked down at the Sunken Jade Valley below excitedly and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this is the Sunken Jade Valley! The environment here looks so great!"
Xianyun also smiled as he looked at the scenery below, nodded and commented: "Although it is not as magnificent as the Aozang Mountain, the environment of the Chenyu Valley is indeed first-class."
As the breeze blew, everyone slowly landed at Qiaoying Manor.
Qiaoying Manor is located in Chenyu Valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and built according to the terrain.
Streams and rivers crisscross the village, and the entire village is surrounded by mountains.
Not only that, the land utilization rate in Qiaoyingzhuang is very high, it can be said that every inch of land is used to its fullest.
In some corners of the courtyards and under the shade of trees, there are tea trees or other various plants planted, making the whole village full of vitality.
On the side of the surrounding mountains that faces the sun and water, tea fields are planted on the hillside and below, while the original natural ecology is basically maintained above the hillside and on the back slope.
The architectural features can be described in eight words: "pink walls, black tiles, and high horse ears."
Paimon looked around the idyllic village and exclaimed, "Wow, this place has a great environment!"
Just then, the aroma of food from a morning tea stall drifted into Paimon's nose.
Even though Paimeng had a full stomach from breakfast, he still licked his lips when he smelled the aroma of siomai, shrimp dumplings, and barbecued pork buns.
"Wow, it smells so good. If I hadn't eaten too much for breakfast, I would really like to eat more."
……
Shao Yun and his party arrived at the port of Qiaoying Manor.
There are many bamboo rafts in the port, waiting for the arrival of passengers.
There is a boatman standing on each bamboo raft, all of whom are looking forward to the arrival of business.
Paimon's eyes widened, and he pointed at the bamboo rafts curiously and asked, "What is this? Is it a boat?"
Xianyun smiled and explained, "This is not an ordinary boat, Paimeng. This is a unique means of transportation in the Chenyu Valley area, called a bamboo raft."
"Wow!" Paimon shouted excitedly, "I've never been on a bamboo raft before! It feels so fun!"
Xianyun nodded and continued, "I feel that if I just take you flying in the sky, you may not be able to truly experience the beauty of this place. Only by getting in close contact with nature can you better appreciate the mountains and rivers of Liyue."
After hearing what Xianyun said, Paimeng rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "Wow! Let's go! I can't wait!"
Xianyun couldn't help laughing when he saw Paimeng's excitement.
Then Xianyun turned to a waiting boatman and said, "Boatman, please take us to Yilong Port."
The boatman nodded, picked up the bamboo pole and prepared to set off.
Shao Yun and his group boarded the bamboo raft.
Although they said they were riding a bamboo raft, there was actually only one bamboo chair on the raft, and because Ying was pregnant, they definitely let her sit down and rest.
Shao Yun, Shen He and Xian Yun could only stand on the bamboo raft and enjoy the scenery along the way.
……
In the early morning, a thin layer of mist often permeates the forests of Chenyu Valley, covering it like a veil.
The sun shines through the mist, casting soft rays of light.
The mountains in the distance are looming in the mist.
Along the waterway, the bamboo raft passed by the ancient tea tree slope, Lingmeng Mountain, Baojuekou, and finally arrived at the destination, Yilongbu.
……
Yilong Port is located on the upper border of Liyue waters, across the sea from Fontaine's Roudeng Port.
The fault topography causes a large difference in the water level here, thus forming a majestic waterfall.
The main body of the port is built against a mountain on one side. In order to overcome the obstruction caused by the waterfall, the Liyue people built a tall "hydraulic lift" and made it a spectacular attraction.
After getting off the bamboo raft, Paimeng looked at the scenery of Yilongfu and exclaimed: "This is Yilongfu. Wow, the architecture is completely different from that of Liyue Harbor."
Xianyun took a look at the peaceful atmosphere around him and said to himself, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that the flood in Fontaine did not affect Yilong Port."
Paimon couldn't wait to pull Shenhe and Ying and said, "Wow! Let's go for a walk!"
……
So, Shao Yun and his group started strolling around Yilongbu.
It was almost the first time for Shao Yun and his companions to come to Yilongbu, and they were curious about everything they saw.
As they strolled around, they came to the "Jiulue Teahouse" in Yilongbu.
The sharp-eyed Paimon immediately spotted Keqing and a Thousand Rocks soldier standing nearby.
She patted Ying's shoulder, pointed in the direction of Keqing, and said, "Is that Keqing over there?"
